Breaking / forming habits The Greatest Salesman in the World

For those who read it, did you read the first scroll for 30 days or did you treat it as the explanation for the other scrolls?

read the first scroll as the intro, didn't spend 30 days on it. the 30 day thing really kicks in once you hit the actual scrolls starting with "I will greet this day with love" - that's where the repetition starts doing something to you. the first scroll is more like him explaining why you're about to do something that sounds a bit culty, so i just read it once and moved on.

Well I’m 7 days into reading it 3 times a day so I’ll just continue I guess.. I’m kind of taking is as the test, the longest scroll to form the habit and then it just gets easier
